Sorry for not posting this earlier but THIS SHOW TOTALLY ROCKS!!! Broadway was totally the wrong place for it (same theater as Billy Elliott and Les Mis, really??) but it’s perfect for Landless. I couldn’t disagree more with the Post review…GO SEE THIS SHOW before it closes!!! The staging, acting, and musical numbers are brilliant…$25 is a bargain!
